My mother (93 has the last name of Davis) there is more to this ..I need to know! She married (Asbery)

It's so important for us to know our history.

My 5th great grandfather was William Friendly from England. He settled in Dorchester and Colleton counties. 1840 Census shows there were 5 free colored persons in his house. His son, my 4th, was mulatto. My great grandmother was listed as Black in the 1920 Census but she looks Native. Her sister was married to Edward Muckenfuss and they were part of the Edisto Indian Tribe of Ridgeville. I grew up in Orangeburg

interesting to hear,.. and your grandmother was listed as "black" the same way ALL of the "natives" were reclassified to people of color, freedman, negro, black and now African American... we are the original peoples of this land that underwent paper genocide

@@jeremymoore1524 Right. African American is a huge misnomer and a disservice to our ethnogenesis seeing that we are an amalgamation of people here in America and we begin here. We aren't pure-blooded African people. We are however pure blooded Americans. We're made up of the three people here in the majority and some small groups of others who came later.

Wow! My Grandfather said our family came from Orangeburg,SC down to Georgia after the Revolution. And we are descended from a Danish immigrant who married a Native American woman. His name was Colding. We only know her first name which was Addie.

Listen to the black lady say, "We are all equal in God's sight". The way she said that to me is like she's willing to not put too much seriousness on the atrocities blacks endured. Blacks suffered the very worst, utter hate. And it prevented them from the pursuit of happiness. It also caused unforeseen social issues that persist even today.

My 6th great grandfather was David Rumph Sr. A Swiss immigrant. They landed in Charleston in July 1735. With other settlers,, He and his siblings settled Orangeburg when it was called the "Township on the Edisto".

My paternal family were slaves in Orangeburg and even in 1920 my grandfather had to escape to get away from the white man who he sharecropped for. He sent the white militia after him and he had to go to another county and leave. That is how he left and went to Pennsylvania.

It is true. What he is saying is that the initial immigrants to the area were poor whites from Europe who were fleeing religious persecution. This was in the late 1600's early 1700's. As they got established and prospered they themselves bought land and setup plantations of their own and yes they had many enslaved people working on them.

It wasn't ILLEGAL. The continent was not a "nation". It was a landmass with lots of different tribes. None of the tribes owned anything except to squat where they were sitting. There were no laws about immigration. They fought among themselves continually for power and they had slaves themselves. Slavery was already here before Europeans arrived.
